This Vipava Valley wine tour from Ljubljana is a full-day trip to one of Slovenia’s wine regions, with hotel pickup and a guide who drives you there and back. It suits travelers who like wine, want to meet the people who make it, and would rather not plan the route or drive after tastings.
The Vipava Valley lies in the west of Slovenia, toward the Italian border. Vineyards cover the slopes, and the valley is known for local grape varieties like zelen and pinela that are hard to find elsewhere.
Past travelers mention visiting two wineries that felt very different from each other, often with cheese and cured meats on the table. Several say the guides explained Slovenian grape varieties and wine styles in a relaxed way and added stories about the country along the drive.
This small group wine tour fills up a few days ahead, so check the dates that work for you.

What a fantastic experience, not just a wine tour but a beautiful tour of the country with a touch of history thrown in. Tena or guide was perfect, clean car on arrival, on time and made us feel comfortable immediately. Would recommend this to anyone who enjoys the wine experience and a great way to escape the city for a day.
Absolutely brilliant! Hands down the best wine tour we’ve ever been on. Boris is an amazing guide, loves everything about Slovenia and doesn’t know what a small measure is! Would highly recommend – the wine, experience, guide and locations are all winners!!
Tina was the best! She told us all about Slovenia and answered any and all questions we had. We had a one of a kind experience that we will never forget!
No. The guide explains the grape varieties and how the wines differ as you taste. Past travelers who had never been to a Slovenian winery found it easy to follow, and frequent wine tour travelers also enjoyed it.
Yes. Lunch is not part of the tour and the day is built around tastings. Snacks are served with the wine, but have a proper breakfast or early meal before the 11:00 am pickup.
The tour runs year-round, so pick the season that fits your trip.
You can visit a Vipava winery on your own, but someone in the group has to stay sober to drive back to Ljubljana. On this tour the guide drives, picks you up at your hotel and chooses the wineries, so everyone can taste.
